My last work.

Hey there. Here is my last work. I always wondered how different live action films would look like if they were done in stylized 3d animation. So I made one myself with some modification.

Demo Reel 2009 (beta)

Hi. Here's my new demo reel. Still consider it in beta mode, and hopefully I'll make a 'final' version by the end of this year.

New video.

Hey, watsup.

This character was intended to be in a short film that I never completed, it was supposed to be for a CG Challenge with the subject called 'Secret Agent' over at http://forums.cgsociety.org/, but I thought I didn't want to just waste this character so I made a small animation of it.

Vimeo messed up the whole video with its crap encoding so I posted it on YouTube. But YouTube made the video really dark, as if it wasn't dark enough already :/




Don't take this thing too seriously. It's just sarcasm :P

I have been working on this rig for some time, trying out different methods.

Here is the "result". Some glitches here and there. I would have added fk/ik blend control but the rig was too damn heavy already, just the face alone has way to many helper objects.

The main point with this rig was try to create "elastigirl"(Incredibles) type of character so it can stretch and bend in many ways.

Just a Jump Test =D

Yo! Just did a little animation test with a new character, for a little longer I'm planing to do.

Head over to Viemo to see it in HD, much MUCH better quality picture.

My Demo Reel for 2008

So, finally, my demo reel is done, even though I posted it a few days back on vimeo and youtube I am posting it here now :)

There were lots of things I could have worked on if I had better computer and more time as I now look back at some of these animations. But, I have to post something now. So here it is.

Enjoy! :)
